Thanks for comparison. I have not played with either your tool nor RTD yet, but I look forward to trying both.

I came across the APIDoc project when watching an excellent presentation by the Gilt CTO titled "Immutable Infrastructure with Docker and EC2" [1]. It is worth a watch and he mentions that APIDoc allows them to more easily create new micro services in their cluster (of which they have over 300!).

I was reading around the APIDoc site and saw they had a note to investigate Swagger 2.0 to see if it could be useful [2].

I would love to see a few projects explore this concept of generating docs, client code, and server code from a single "ground truth" file and eventually have them all merge into a single defacto standard. That would be exciting indeed (though it seems Swagger may already be approaching that point in some circles).
